Cruising Caddy II

HOW MUCH: $19.99.

DOES IT WORK? Well-designed and constructed from microfiber, the unisex tote neatly holds everything it claims it can, and possibly one or two other small items. The 54-inch adjustable shoulder strap can also be worn across the chest. It comes with a foam cooler sleeve that fits a variety of water bottles up to 1.5 liters. Its front pocket's Velcro closure keeps cash and credit cards tucked in place, and has a somewhat hidden interior pocket just big enough for a passport.

Though our Sony CyberShot and BlackBerry both easily fit within the 5-by-6-inch elasticized pouch pocket, owners of large cameras might have a problem. We also protected our cell phone in a slipcase to keep it and the camera from scratching each other in the divider-free pocket. Handy for touring, walking, hiking or the beach. Cruising Caddy II is available at cruising caddy.com.

WHAT: The Cruising Caddy II, a slim, black lightweight tote with compartments to carry your money, keys, credit cards, passport, camera, cell phone, map and a bottle of water.
